Looks nice mate. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't do much more to it. Still looks nice and doesn't look riced up. Found a picture of one similar to yours, just with black alloys and the panaramic roof and black mirrors. Looks very well!!

That red gti is sweeettt jonny and so is that white polo alex

I wish so much that i had the money to get the gti rear bumper and the side skirts, then id leave it. Tbh im pretty happy the way it is now though, especially for being only 17 still

Still debating about getting the mirrors black just...

Those gti stockies painted gloss black would look much better in matte black due to the numerous matte black inserts on the exterior of the car...much more complimentary to the overall look.

Anyone know much about changing the steering wheel from just the standard one to and leather R-Line one?
Like the risks etc or is it all okay?

Also my dad was ordering some number plate lights for his passat, which are the same as some of the interior lights in my polo so decided to get another set to see how they look. And the results so far...
Have been told that changing the middle light is dodgy so dunno whether or not to bother, would love to though....Anyone else done it before?

Got it all working

Only probably is that i only had 2 of the same bulbs and one led one so now its multicoloured, two whites and bulbish/white :L But that'll be fixed soon hopefully. I get pictures up later maybe

Any advice then on how to get the middle light out?

We should have a How to Sticky on the 6r page to help others.

Emm... well you need to remove the curved plastic panel behind the lights first, use a screwdriver to wedge a gap and then pop it out, then you can see into the top of the lights. Then you need to pull sharply down on the unit making sure to take care as the cable is only about 30cm long and dont wanna yank it (y) then just replace your bulbs and bob's your uncle

I needa do it again tomorrow cause I think just having the white light at either side of the unit would look better than having them two and a blueish one in the middle :/ Might use the blue LED I take out to change the light in the boot, as long as its the same type of bulb

Do you need to use canbus bulbs for the interior lights? Are they festoon bulbs or 501 bulbs?
